Digital camera reviews of Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - Old Version
Digital camera Review: $899 for an SB-800!? They're joking right?
Summary: 5 Stars
The SB-800 is a great flash, but for the vendor to charge $899 for one is...
Digital camera Review: 699?!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am currently shopping around for this flash and at the time of this review the price is $699.95. That is just ridiculous, as you can get the SB-900 (newer model) for $429 right here on amazon, and almost anywhere else you look, this flash it is in the $300-$400 range. The one star rating has nothing to do with the product itself, I just don't want anyone to get suckered into paying $700 for it.Digital camera Review: A great accessory!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best flash I have owned. Combined with my Fuji S3Pro my images are well lit with excellent highlights and shadows. I can dial the flash in for each subject and not worry about blown out hot spots. I give this Speedlight my highest rating.Digital camera Review: A lot of flash
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading reviews between this speedlight and the SB 600 prompted the purchase of the SB 800. While I will not use this at full capacity now, I wanted a flash that will be ready to meet more advanced needs as I grow as a photographer. Right out of the box I was able to take better pictures with my D50. Even at its most basic, the SB 800 offers more lighting choices than the pop-up flash, with improved tone qualities and more natural shadowing (thanks to the ability to bounce as opposed to head-on). I'm still learning the technical aspects, so I was somewhat intimidated before purchasing, but I have no regrets. Only con is the flash is large and heavy. Not ideal for candids, but perfect for portraits and group shots, as well as still photography.Digital camera Review: A must buy for serious photographers
Summary: 5 Stars
Great flash with my D200. It Has many nice features and is versatile. I use it mostly off camera and use the built in flash to trigger the SB-800. My only complaint is the dot matrix LCD is not that good.
